Ethiopian maids dumped outside Beirut embassy

Maids have been dumped outside a Beirut embassy, amid an ongoing economic crisis in Lebanon, heightened by the coronavirus pandemic.

Lebanons economy is collapsing with the countrys currency losing 70% of its value in the past six months.

Now many of the countrys middle class claim they can no longer afford to pay their domestic maids.

More than 100 Ethiopian migrant workers have been dumped outside their embassy in the capital in recent days.
